A spring-y sweater

I haven't posted here in awhile and I'm glad to have another item to show now. This will go in the mail once I get it blocked. It's bulky weight, knit top down starting with the collar. I added the kelly green to a yellow/green/brown stripe Wisdom Skye yarn I'd gotten way on sale. On it's own, the Wisdom Skye seem a bit too camo for an A for A campaign, but I think the addition of the bright green really changes the whole look. It's a wonderful lofty, smooshy yarn that will keep someone very warm. The sweater is relatively longer than it looks in the picture

THE BASICS

afghans for Afghans is a people-to-people project that knits and crochets wool garments as a practical gesture of friendship and respect for the people of Afghanistan. In partnership with the San Francisco office of the American Friends Service Committee, our project started in late 2001 in response to the war that unfolded after 9/11. This follows a long-time tradition of knitting for others at times of war and crisis. Afghan families still need to know that we care. Join us here for camaraderie, inspiration, and mutual support with projects.
